tonight, breaking news on the desperate search for james dimaggio and the girl he allegedly abducted. believed to have kidnapped her. his car has been found in a remote part of idaho far from

san diego where he allegedly killed her mother and possibly her brother as well. >> the blue car was discovered covered and brush. the license plates had been removed. but local law enforcement in the area were able to confirm through the number that the vehicle did belong to him. >> this is a key development, the other may be bigger. were they may have been spotted as he has been doing from the very start, working his sources and joining us now with the very latest. what are you hearing? >> sources are saying that a single writer on a horse possibly other writers but spotted what seemed to be cannot anderson and the suspect in the idaho back country not far from cascade. they also found the suspect's car. our know is this?

they say the car was that a trail head and the couple would have been hiking away from the trail head. authorities say it appeared that he had geared up for weeks before by camping equipment and going into the wilderness and backpacks on both of the individuals. >> i know the sheriff spoke about the condition. she seemed to be among the hikers saw her. tell our viewers what he said? >> perhaps we learned some clues to the whereabouts and the well-being of both of the children. as you pointed out, she seemed to be in good health. let's listen to what the sheriff had to say about that. >> it didn't look like she was being held against her will. we're holding out hope that ethan is still alive, but the sighting up in idaho was of a man and a -- apparently a teenage girl. so there was no sighting, you know, wednesday of a small boy. >> reporter: perhaps dire news

there, wolf, confirmation ethan was not scene with the couple. >> as far as the other body found in the house, paul, they say it was consistent with that of an 8-year-old child. i take it the dna results have not yet come back? >> reporter: they have had an extremely difficult time here trying to get the dna sample and not to put too grew some point on this but it's because the remains of the child found inside the house were so badly charred, wolf. >> there is some indication by the police today that this kidnapping seems to have been planned for sometime. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: well, i think one of the smoking gun indicators detectives are eluding to is the sense that dimaggio stockpiled camping equipment and had been buying it in recent weeks leading up to the disappearance. they also were warning us as you can recall all week long dimaggio, who is somewhat of an outdoors man may make a run into

the wilderness and in the past he had a misdemeanor in texas for avoiding a police officer, and heading down a dirt road at 70 miles an hour. there were a lot of signs here that perhaps he thought this out, and carefully calculate just where he would make his run. >> thank you very much. joining us now andrea sancomb, christine anderson's sister, hanna and ethan's aunt. the news that your niece appeared to be in good health in the wilderness area, what is your reaction to that? >> it makes me happy. i'm hoping they find him, get them out of there. >> we all are. obviously, it's a tough, tough situation. the sheriff said your niece doesn't seem to be held against her will. i don't know if we can read too much into that. what do you make of that?

>> there could be all different scenarios behind that. you know, i -- i don't have much to say on it, but she's being held. >> some friends of hanna's are saying dimaggio actually had some sort of crush on her. he's, what, 40? she's 16 years old. she was uncomfortable with that, does that come as a surprise to you? >> it does. it does. it's very disturbing. >> had you ever heard of any indications that this guy may have had a crush on her? >> no, i have not. >> that's a total surprise. we've seen a family photo, you with christine that who died in the cabin fire, hanna, ethan, we'll put it up on the screen right there on the couch with all of you including dimaggio. he really was very close to this family, wasn't he? >> he was. he definitely was. >> looking back, andrea, was

there anything -- was there any clue that you now could discern that he could perhaps do something like this? >> no, not at all. he seemed like a sweet guy, nothing out of the ordinary. >> so what was he like beyond being a sweet guy? tell us a little bit about him. >> i've only met him that one time, and that was about two years ago. he was -- he was fun. you know, he was very interactive with everyone. >> do you have any clear picture from the authorities in san diego, what actually happened in the cabin? how the fire was set? what may have happened before the fire? >> no, i do not. >> no inside information on that -- >> no. >> if dimaggio or your niece is watching you right now, what would you want to say to them? >> hanna, be strong, run. get out of there. we will find you. we love you, baby.

>> andrea thanks very much for taking a few moments to speak with us. our deepest, deepest sympathies. good luck, obviously, we're hoping for the very, very best. i want to go next to the crime fighter, the victim advocate john walsh who has spoken with hanna's father brett. john, the san diego sheriff says hanna seemed to be okay, didn't seem as if she was being held against her will. i understand you would like to respond to that. what do you want to say? >> well, i don't think anybody can comment on what hanna is going through unless they walked in her shoes. i spoke to elizabeth smart the day after she was recovered, in confidence we talked about her perpetrator was stopped by the police three times. she was terrified to jump out and say i'm elizabeth smart, i'm captive because he threatened her every day he had her for eight months. he said i got in your house, i'll go back and kill your mother and father and sister that was in the room when she

was kidnapped. she was terrified. she was shocked. she was being brutalized every day. don't judge hanna until we hear the final, final story. remember one thing, this girl probably witnessed the murder of her mother and 8-year-old brother and is scared to death. women go into survival mode. she's probably in that modely compile with this guy to stay arrive. >> is it a positive sign she's alive all these days later? i know last night you said it could be a good thing this guy may actually have some kind of crush on this young woman. >> absolutely. his obsession with this girl is what caused this whole event. he probably has real knowledge of this no return wilderness that they are in. as i said to the father, brett, last night and i just spoke to him. i said this is good news that hanna is still alive, that he's obsessed with her, that he won't kill her and go on the run. i think he's making his -- his attempt to disappear into that

wilderness in hopes the cops won't find him. it's a very good thing she's still alive. >> you told us last night, john, you were trying to speak to brett anderson. i understand you were finally able to catch up with him. what can you tell us about that phone conversation? >> thanks to you guys, wolf, he called me and i said you have to focus on one thing. you're a heart broken father. i walked in your shoes. 3 two years ago i had my heart ripped out. he's devastated by the murder of his wife and 8-year-old son ethan. i said do one thing, remember who the victim is. he's totally focused. he's a courageous father. i said do all the media you can. you need the media more than they need you and get hanna back alive. he's going to a memorial as we speak for those two loved ones he lost. watch the amber alerts. they are crucial, they saved over 600 kids over the years and if you see anything, somebody is going to see something in that wilderness, some camper,

somebody and they will give the tip that will get this girl back alive. >> this is a little strange, john, but if this guy dimaggio is watching, you and me right now, what do -- what would you say to him? >> i would say to him that you have destroyed an entire family. do the right thing, give this girl up, bring her back, let her get some counseling, face the consequences, and you just can't believe for a second that you're going to get away with this, that you're going to get out alive. save your own life, save her life and give yourself up. >> what do you make of the police suggested this guy probably bought camping equipment weeks ago. what does that say to you? >> i believe he was planning this. i tracked so many of these guys, wolf. i believe he, in his mind, either believed that she was infatuated with him, he's certainly infatuated with her and he was planning the demise of this little boy and women.

they are collateral and he was stockpiling this camping gear. he probably researched this wilderness because that's his hobby. he's a camper, survivalist and picked a remote area. when we were looking for eric rudolph, the fbi, he was able to stay in the deep dense wilderness there for rest for months at a time. i'm praying this isn't the case. my gut feeling is, he planned this. he killed the mom and brother, collateral damage, he'll have his wonderful honeymoon or whatever in his mind with this girl. but i think cops are closing in. i want to see them take him alive and see that girl back home. her father is desperately waiting for her. >> you know the police say he probably has explosives some sort of improvised explosive division, something along those lines. that's very worry some. >> it is.

the idaho bomb squad as we speak is checking out the car to make sure he didn't make it a booby trap. it looks in the homicide and this was in the news before we talked about it. in the homicide of the mom and the son, he use add blunt weapon. hopefully he doesn't have a gun with him or other weapons. hopefully he won't take his life, her life first. he may have explosives. i think the cops are prepared. it's tightening on this guy. i hope tomorrow night they report hanna is back and this dirt bag is in custody. >> just ahead, to the flood zone that is growing. also tonight, the skeptics weigh in on president obama's plan changes to intelligence gathering he says to make it more transparent and accountable. among the questions, what do his reforms actually reform. later, the facebook posting that

first, i will work with congress to pursue appropriate reforms to

section 215 of the patriot act, the program that collects telephone records. i will work with congress to improve the confidence in the oversight provided by the surveillance court. specifically we can take steps to make sure civil liberties concerns have an independent voice, in appropriate cases by ensuring the government's position is challenged by an adversary. number 3, we can and must be more transparent. i directed the intelligence community to make public as much information about these programs as possible. fourth, we are forming a high-level group of outside experts to review our entire intelligence community technologies. we need new thinking for a new era. >> as for the timing of wallace's the president says the review process began before the snow and controversy but acknowledge the impact of it. >> unfortunately, rather than an orderly and lawful process to debate these issues and come up with appropriate reforms,

repeated leaks of classified information initiated the debate in a very passionate but not always fully informed way. >> reaction today from republican lawmakers, the house speaker john boehner warning the president to make sure reform does not cripple intelligence operations. congressman peter king going further. >> this is a terrible failure of leadership. this is the nsa version of the apology -- of the obama apology tour this is a successful program. the nsa program is successful and the president is allowing edward snowden, the traitor to pull the puppet strings. >> here to talk to us, let's go to jessica first. jessica, you were there, you were at the news conference today. we heard the president make this promise that it's going to become more transparent. he says it was already happening before the snowden leaks, but is that really realistic?

>> well, as you point out, wolf, he did say that he wanted more transparency back, in may he said that. that was right before edward snowden's first leak was in june. so his assertion is that the leaks sped up the process that was going to happen anyway. well, we also have to take a bigger look at the big picture, which is does snowden lead to the new safeguards put in place? two democratic senators have been calling for more transparency and everyone reforms for more than a year now. senators widen and udol have been demanding it and when the head of the intelligence committee, he admitted he was less than truthful talking to them. that was before snowden and suddenly all this transparency. would it happen without snowden? we don't know. the train already left the station but seems to have been a huge nudge, wolf. >> david, you heard peter king saying the president is letting edward snowden pull the puppet strings and this is another so-called apology tour for the

president. what did you make of what the president said today? >> wolf, i welcome the fact the president put this on the national debate more fully. he's been meeting, as we've learned, for awhile, several weeks. all those conversations ramped up this week. he wanted to get it done before he went on vacation. i'm not sure he pleased anybody, wolf. on one hand as you said, republicans think he's not protecting security, never made a robust defense the day of the security aspects of this and democrats worry that, you know, there is two public concerns. one is the scope of what is being monitored and the other about the possible abuse of what is being collected. the president today talked about stopping abuses, preventing abuses but didn't narrow the scope so there is still this vast collection process going on and i do think for some americans listening, two weeks ago this president said washington had taken the eye off the ball on the economy.

and here he is with the first press conference in a long time and sure enough, he put his eye on something other than the cow moon. >> yeah, surprised myself he didn't open up with a real economic statement, as opposed to the nsa surveillance program. dana, what is the reaction on capitol hill? i know the lawmakers are in recess, on vacation, the president is going on vacation tomorrow but we saw what speaker bayner said, suggesting the president was concerned about saving face than defending the programs. >> that's right. look, i mean, this is kind of the one issue or few issues, i should say where republicans are supportive of the president. this nsa program they say has been helpful and they have been kind of his biggest cheerleaders on this while the democrats, many of the democrats, as jessica was just talking to, leading liberal democratic senators have been maybe the most vocal in terms of criticism. this changed that a little bit.

but one thing i would say about peter king, one of the lawmakers you were talking about, he said the president is on an apology tour. that illustrates the flight within the republican party because peter king, as you know is making noise about being president and he's trying to push the wing of the republican party that is more hockish against those on the republican side like ran paul who is maybe running as somebody who is liberal. so that also, even in -- even in the reaction to the president's announcement today, that is on display, the illustration of the split within the republican party, not just the democratic party. >> a fair point. there is a real split in the republican party on these international issues, as you point out. let me go back to david and bring jessica back. david, the president said civil libertarians are patriots. let me play a clip when he was asked directly if he considered edward snowden to be a patriot. >> no, i don't think mr. snowden was a patriot. the fact is mr. snowden is

charged with three felonies. if in fact, he believes what he did was right, like every american citizen, he can come here, appear before the court with a lawyer, and make his case. >> it interrupted what could have been examination of these laws, a thoughtful fact base. david, would there have been a debate really without snowden? >> no, not of the volume and intensity and level of public concern that we see now. clearly, snowden triggered that. the president himself said that. i think this is almost a classic obama where he's being so cautious that sometimes the message gets muddled. on one hand he says he wasn't a patriot and on the other hand he did help move this debate forward.

instead of having him come down hard on snowden and what he did, which was treacherous, which was what, you know, the republicans who had been supporting the president would like, he seemed to let him off gently, on the other hand, he left people like kline and "the washington post" saying why are you calling him not a patriot if he helped move the debate along? that's what you're saying. so i think the president -- i thought he was a little low key and so lawyerly that i don't think he had the political impact you look for in a news conference. >> quickly, u.s., russia relations, jessica, did we see movement with president obama and putin is concerned? >> no, he described it as candidate and blunt. that's speak for we often don't get along literally. when they want to tell you when a meeting didn't go well, they use that language here. the president on -- has already been clear from the white house

here that when they called off the moscow meeting, there was a long list of disagreements. we already know that. he add add poke at pus tin, the boring skid slouching in the back of the classroom. the president was critiquing how we in the media over read the body language but not the most flattering way to describe putin. a missouri dad had just minutes to sound the warning but kept his cool in the face of rising flood waters and saved his son and neighbors. also, another dramatic rescue. you may have seen this video. firefighters carrying a baby to safety near nashville. just ahead, i'll talk to her parents about that terrifying moment. the boys used double miles from their capital one venture card

raging floods across a wide swath of the country have claimed at least four lives. the latest victim, a 60-year-old oklahoma man trying to save his daughter from her stranded car. he was swept into a creek. for days a powerful and stubborn system storm, 21 states under a flood watch or warning today and the danger isn't over. southeast kansas and southern

missouri have seen up to 10 inches of rain already this week with more expected this weekend. forecasters say both regions are facing extreme flooding risks. we can't say it often enough, these flood waters are dangerous and they can kill quickly. one community in missouri had a very close call. george howell is joinings us live with details. >> reporter: hole lister, missouri, you can see the turkey week running eye quietly tonight. the other day the water is as high as where i am standing and people in this neighborhood didn't really know because they were asleep. this happened around 3:00 a.m. there was one neighbor, rick ra -- rick ramirez went door to door knocking. the good news no one was hurt, no one was killed. everyone survived but again, definitely a scary situation for a lot of people. >> of course.

so how are the cleanup efforts going, george? >> reporter: well, you know, it's one of those things where people are starting to come back. they are starting to see what is left over. it's going to take several days, but you find some of these mobile homes, as you would imagine, with a lot of water rushing through were shifted to several different places. some mobile homes even have the siding ripped off. the sheer force of the water that came through but again, finding some people who have some belongings left. there are others who are trying to find their home. their homes are gone. >> sad situation. thanks very much. george howell reporting. the flood waters can raise to dangerously high levels in a matter of only a few minutes. over the last several days, we've seen some dramatic rescues, one image in particular is very hard to shake. take a look at this. firefighters outside nashville, tennessee, carry a baby through waist-high water rising fast. the baby is lauren marlin, just

five weeks old. lauren won't have a memory of her rescue but her parents rebecca and jeremiah marlin won't forget it. a truly terrifying day for them. they join us with their baby daughter lauren and their son. we're so happy everyone is okay. rebecca, walk us through what happened. you're at home. you're watching the news. what happened then? >> i open the front door to watch the storm and i looked down and i noticed my entire front yard is covered in water, and i yell for my husband to get up, we're flooding. he jumps up, and he calls 911. they tell us to get into our attic and bust open the side vent up in the attic to let the firefighters know we're there. i go into panic mode. i start picking up toys -- not toys but i start getting food and diapers and clothes together

because i have no idea how long we'll be up there, and we get up there and we're up there, i know for a good hour and they get my mother-in-law and father in law out first and they finally come over to us, and they rescue our 4-year-old son first, and they decide to get my husband out, so he can be out to get our daughter when he -- when the firefighters bring her out and then they finally got me out and it was probably within 30 minutes where they rescued all of us. >> jeremiah, what was it like waiting up in that attic? your house was filling up with water. what was going through your mind? >> it's frightening just seeing that amount of water come in that quick and knowing you've got young children in the house that you've got to protect and try to save and it's -- it's a tough thing to go through. we went through the may 2010 flood, and it was nowhere near like it was yesterday. >> rebecca, i can only imagine how glad you were when the

firefighters actually showed up at -- tell us what happened, especially when you passed your daughter to them. i know you were thinking, what, please don't drop her, right? >> yeah. that was my first thought was please don't drop my baby. please don't drop my baby. i watched them carry my 4-year-old out, and i just teared up because that's -- you know, he's my first born and may baby. and when they carried her out, she was asleep and she -- she never made a sound. never moved, and i just thought thank you, thank you god because they got her safe and sound to the street to where, you know, i knew she was safe and with her daddy and nanna and it was absolutely wonderful to see that. and then, you know, afterwards, i was so worried about getting myself out and putting my life jacket on. i was done. i was ready to get out of the mess. >> jeremiah, what do you want to say to the firefighters that carried your daughter to safety?

>> i'm very grateful for the nashville fire department. it was a matter of minutes from the time they got there and got a rope out and got my mom and my father in law out, my mom's husband out and did an exception job getting us out and other neighbors out, and i'm very grateful for them. >> thank you so much -- thank you so much to both of you and the entire family for joining us. we're glad you're okay and you've gotten through this, what obviously, is a huge, huge crisis. rebecca marlin, jeremiah marlin, guys, thanks very much for coming in. >> thank you. >> thank you. up next, the florida man that admits he killed his wife and posted a photo of her body on facebook. we'll talk about it with dr. drew pin ski. also, alex rodriguez returns to yankee stadium for the first time since the juicing scandal. what kind of reception did he get from the hometown? with the spark miles card from capital one, bjorn earns unlimited rewards for his small business.

a strange twist to a murder case in florida. a man accused of killing his wife before turning himself in. 31-year-old eric medina posed a fee toe of her body. shows 26-year-old jennifer alfonzo in a contorted position on the floor of their home. the photo is grew some. we've decided not to show it. medina post add message which read i'm going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife. love you guys, miss you guys, take care facebook people. you'll see me in the news. my wife was punching me and i'm not going to stand anymore with the abuse so i did what i did. i hope you understand me. some of medina's facebook friends reacted in disgust but incredibly the photo was shared more than 100 times before facebook took it down. medina admitted shooting his wife after a violent argument. this afternoon he was arraigned

on a charge of first-degree murder and denied bond. his 10-year-old daughter was inside the home. she was not hurt. just a short time ago, i spoke about this case with dr. drew pinsky, the host of hln's dr. drew on call. the fact this man confessed on facebook to murdering his wife and post add photo of her dead body. have you ever seen anything like this before? >> wolf, i have never seen anything like this before. this case is so horrific and tragic and at the same time fascinating in so many ways. we're seeing the history of social media evolving before our eyes, now to the point where we have to witness murders and their aftermath in social media, not only does it speak volumes about social media's influence on the world today but calls into question the responsibility facebook has to protect the public from things that might otherwise be terribly disturbing. a feature is the pictures were

up there long enough to be shared hundreds of times. so these may end up in front of people who don't want to see things like this. >> yeah, amazing, 170 times it was shared before it was taken down. i don't understand that, do you? >> i don't understand it, but i think it's going to have to be tightened up. wolf, when you think about it, it's amazing it wasn't shared 170,000 times and maybe will find it's way into that many shares. that's part of the revolution we're seeing right now. this story is ironic and tragic on so many levels, not just from the standpoint of social media but how about the fact this guy was -- wrote books about communication and maintaining a healthy marriage. >> one of those books entitled how i saved someone's life and marriage and family problems through communication. how do you explain that? >> well, i guess it's something he probably had to work on himself in certain areas of his

life is all we can speculate. this does throw into bold relief an issue in my mind, which i think people understand that intra personal terrorism, that's a couple that must be separated. common coupled violence, we often don't think of as having a potential fatal outcome. this is a bold reminder that common coupled violence, particularly if you throw in substances, if you throw that in, common coupled violence, a little bit of roughness can escalate into something just as dangerous, not as chronic but at least acutely as dangerous as intra personal terrorism. >> "the miami harold" spoke to people that knew her and they saw signs of abuse and control. she would say he's going to change, she's in love with him. you see a lot of this kind of domestic, abuse, don't you? >> unfortunately we do.

anyone that works in law enforcement and healthcare we see this all the time. thankful will in california where i practice there had are mandatory rules for this to be reported to social services. the problem is so much of it goes under ground and unnoticed and glossed over with denial. again, these stories are important for people out there listening, if you have any hint of this in peers and friends and family, you got to get help. help does work in these situations of so-called common violence, and if it's the inter personal terrorism, we got it fix it. >> thank you. just ahead, the family of a florida teenager who died after being tasered by police want answers. today an investigation was launched. we have details coming up. plays a key role throughout our lives.
